Halifax Town Hall, Victorian town hall in Halifax, England
Halifax Town Hall is a Victorian administrative building standing in the center of Halifax with a sandstone facade, prominent tower, and spire. It features ornate arcades and columns that define its exterior appearance.
The building was designed in 1863 by Charles Barry, who previously worked on the Houses of Parliament in London. Its construction marked a period of growth and modernization in Halifax.
The main hall inside serves as a gathering place where local exhibitions, community meetings, and official events take place. It shows how the building remains central to the town's public life.
The building serves as the headquarters of Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council, with visits generally arranged through organized group tours. Plan ahead to confirm access and explore the public areas inside.
The tower contains five bells cast by John Taylor & Co that form an important part of the building's soundscape. Additionally, sculptures by John Thomas decorate the spire and represent four continents in artistic form.
